3. Pie form, cont. Get contact info for all customers—make sure you know how to reach your people. Make sure you write the totals on the form! This is very important when I place the orders and when we separate them once they arrive. Double check that you have collected/turned in the correct amount of money. Checks should be made payable to Central Magnet School.

Friday, November 22 @ 3:00 pm—pick up all pies in Mrs. Winton’s room. They come frozen so we will not hold pies over the weekend. Make appropriate arrangements. Deliver pies before Thanksgiving.

7. Tips for selling pies Be enthusiastic and polite. Explain to your customers why you are selling the pies—talk about convention and how the money will help your club. If someone tells you “no,” be respectful but give them an option to contact you if they change their mind.
